Nellie McKay Album

C'mon, now you've got some time
I wanna hear it cuz I need an answer
I know youth dies young
But our youth's just begun
And ain't it a beautiful day

'Cause it's true, baby
I need you
I'm damned if I say I do
Gertrude would approve

I need you in the mornin
I need you in the silent afterglow
Won't you let my lovin' show, baby

Oh anyone can toe the line
Except for me cuz I'm a disco dancer
All my life I've been
A gopher with a grin
My smile is fadin' away

Cuz it's true, baby
I need you
To shatter the status q
Truman would approve

I need you in the mornin'
I need you in the sunshine, rain or snow
Won't you let my lovin' show, baby

Otherwise I don't want to hear it
You've got me talkin talkin talkin
Well it's better than you
'Cause I say I don't wanna fear it
That look that says exactly what you think of me
Cuz that's when you would be free oh
From my love
My love
Baby baay-bee

C'mon now honey stop denyin'
Or I'm forever gonna be a bachelor
Leave the steps of your house
Get down to the courthouse
Give me a G and an A, Y?!

'Cause it's true,
Baby I need you I'm damned if I say, "I do"
Jesus would approve I need you in the morning I need you
In the scarlet afterglow oh won't you let my lovin' show
Baby I need you-oo-ooo I need you to sustain my sorry soul
Won't you let my lovin' show
Baby I need you I need you I said
I don't wanna hear it you got me talkin talkin talkin
Well it's better than you I need you-oo-ooo I need yoooou
I need you to get over my rainbow
I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it I don't wanna hear it

Fuzzy are the lights, fuzzy like your smile
Fuzzy really nice, Suzie like a star

Hello stranger, fellow stranger
Hello stranger, walking straight in the fog
Blue chandelier where you go tonight.

Dizzy is the chance,
Does he leave the dance?
Dizzy goes the fan
Does he like romance?

Hello stranger, fellow stranger
Hello stranger, stay out late as the dark
Pink chandelier where you love tonight.

Penny for your thoughts, Penny really cares
Penny from the block, Jane who likes your hair.

Hello stranger, fellow stranger
Hello stranger, hello stranger…

Every single thing will only bring another sad solution
Every single hurt will only curse another substitution
Everyone you meet secures a wretched seat within your memory
Wipe their filthy feet upon the yearning of your soul
There you are in me

No one ever loved me
Not at school and home was so sadistic
I don't wanna be another fool another sad statistic
Everyone you know secures a wretched glow within your memory
Wipe their filthy toes upon the yearning of your mind
There you are in me

Mother, mother why you tear away
Counting up the stars like any other
Brother, brother can you hear me say
Not that far I've just gone undercover

Selfish, stupid, so self-serious
Balderdash, I got no money
Selfish, stupid, so delirious
Leave me 'nuff alone

Uptight, upright, long nights, furious
Darwin asked "You Got The Money?"
Big cry, big guy, fish eye curious
Can this be my home?

Everyone you tell secures a wretched hell within your memory
Wipe their filthy smell upon the yearning of your mind
There you are in me

Mother, mother why you tear away
Counting up the stars like any other
Brother, brother can you hear me say
Not that far I've just gone undercover

Dumbass, smartass, so self serious
What disgrace I got no money
Well read, dope-ed, so delirious
Leave me 'nuff alone

Frothin', coughin', so ridiculous
Face to face, "You got the money?"
Upset, inbred white trash glorious
Can this be my home

Everyone you touch secures a wretched crutch within your memory
Wipe their filthy mush upon the yearning of your soul
There you are in me

Standing in the break of a yawn
Where you done left me alone
There's nothing happening to hide

Sitting in the shade of the lawn
As everybody goes home
There's nothing left here to find

Standing with my back to the wall
Minding the sky as it's falling all around me
Listening for a break in the rain
For it's not drowning my pain anymore

Standing in the shade of the yard
Where everybody works hard
And everybody is dying
Walking up the town boulevard
Where I'm found out as a fraud
And there's nobody who's buying

As you're walkin' down the street
Might wanna skip a beat
Think it over
Walkin' to the corner store
But it ain't there no more
If you want a loaf of bread
You try a pharmacy instead
Another chain will set you free

When you go to pay the rent
You see it's all been spent
The purse is empty
Money, money make a buck
But you're all outta luck
This town ain't friendly now
A thousand faces stare you down
Each one's afraid of what you see

Slither in your sea (can't deny it)
Hide behind the view (gentrifying)
Take a life or two (The revolution's comin' round)
Clingin' to the door ( quiver, cower )
Profit off the poor (fight the power)
Pay 'em even more (That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)
Took Bruce Bailey down

Lookin' like the jack is back
But he ain't gonna attack
His hands are flippin'
Druggies dyin' in the halls
They're bangin' on the walls
Your Ma ain't trippin' now
It ain't a home if you ain't allowed
What time's the cease fire
Where's the heat?

Spittin' on the old (sister/brother)
Shittin' on your soul (welfare mother)
Profit is the goal (the revolution's comin' round)
Payin' off a loan (mass eviction)
Elevate the zone (ain't no fiction)
Breakin' up a home (that's why they took Bruce Bailey down)
Took Bruce Bailey down

No more tokens, take a train
You swipe a piece of plastic paper
No more smokin' on the plane
You gripe they'll take you to the jailer
Bind your time, it's all in vain
They tell you as you meet your maker
Grief's the mother of invention
Pain's the midwife to your labor

Turn it, burn it, cure it, endure it
If you are able, sucker

People standing in the park
It's getting mighty dark
The kids are scowlin'
Shutter up the windows tight
This is an evil night
The wind is howlin' fast
Another tragedy has passed
Another stain on you and me

Slither in your sea (can't deny it)
Hide behind the view (gentrifying)
Take a life or two (The revolution's comin' round)
Clingin' to the door (quiver, cower)
Profit off the poor (fight the power)
Pay 'em even more (That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)
Took Bruce Bailey down

Spittin' on the old (sister/brother)
Shittin' on your soul (welfare mother)
Profit is the goal (the revolution's comin' round)
Payin' off a loan (mass eviction)
Elevate the zone (ain't no fiction)
Breakin' up a home (that's why they took Bruce Bailey down)
Took Bruce Bailey down

There you are
There you're good and gleaming
There you are
There you're bold and beaming
There you sit
Every bit built to last

There you were
There you traveled slowly
There you were
You were life unfolding
Now you've quit
Now they've broken the mass

Doo doo doo...
The town's for sale
Doo doo doo...
It never fails

And I can make it happen
And I can make it fun
And I can watch it flatten out
And I can make it run

Been working a long long time
See her in the news
Calling her on her crime
But she can't refuse
Cause she'd quit it if she could
Knowing that she should
But admitted she's alright
Gotta keep the fight on

Ooh, and so she cries
Through weary eyes, we see

I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I'll love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there…

Been working a long long day
Now it's getting dark
April is on the way
See you in the park
Cause she'd make it if she could
Knowing that she should
But she's taken up above
People fall in love, oh

Ooh, and so she cries
Through wary eyes, we see

I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I'll love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there

I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I'll love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there…

I don't see nothing,
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing

It isn't bad to know your limitations
That we know can come to good
But if you had to know your situation
I see no reason you should
You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear
It's on the down low
Don't you find it
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
Don't you mind it
Hold your head up high
That will see you through
Dry your little eyes
Don't mess up your life by seeking truth

It isn't hard to get an education
Know you want to come to good
But, you can hardly bet on imitation
I see no reason you should
You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear
It's on the down low
You won't find that
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
Don't you mind it
Walk right down the stairs
That will see you through
(Drive with full affair?)
Don't mess up your life by seeking the truth

You, you should lay the flowers where the sun does shine
Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga
Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga
Hojole (Hijole?)

I spend all my idle hours biding time
I know it ends some day

It isn't bad to diss your situation
That we know can come to good
But you'd be mad to miss your coronation
And I see no reason you should
You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear
Its on the down low
Don't you find it
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
Don't you mind it
Hold your head up high
That will see you through
Dry your little eyes
Don't mess up your life you're over reaching
Trying to find to seek the truth…

I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing...

You're supposed to have a laugh
And have a lot to say
You're supposed to have a gas
And make your getaway
But do you know you can't be wrong
How do you know you can't be wrong
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul

I wasn't sure about anything, no
I was secure in a rendering
Headed west now I guess I'ma wanderin, no
Wishing I weren't good at squandering
All I have

You've got a lot that's lame
And all your alibis
I've got a lot of shame
And things are dead inside
But do you know you can't be wrong
How do you know you can't be wrong
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul

I know I wear you down
You're looking awful bored
But if you're skipping town
And say you'll take no more
Well do you know you can't be wrong
How do you know you can't be wrong
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul

Color me damned,
Feeling petrified, yeah
Tear up my plans leave me weather blight
Guess it's past
It's a flash from the other side
Fading fast, goes the mast
It's a better climb, all I had

And now I know you're mad
I know you're filled with hate
I know that as I stand here
You know I'm too late
But do you know you can't be wrong
How do you know you can't be wrong
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul
To your soul…
To your soul…

You, traffic on the line
Strangers all around
Nothing here but time
I don't see a sound
Floating high above
Every little town
People who can love

Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing

You, coursing through my veins
Pulsing every pound
Panic on parade
Cutting through the crowd
Music fills my brain
I know I let you down
Take me back again

Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing

You, footsteps on the floor
Do they make a sound
Open up the door

Please don't leave me now

Hello

Cindy Lauper :
Sewed everything you said
Together in a thread
Repeating in my mind
Each word like a rhyme
Like a penny serenade
Looking through his song
He said the record's overplayed
But where did I go wrong

Nellie McKay :
You never stayed at first
Could not commit the time
Ignored all the quirks
But he still did the crime
And when he goes away
I know you'll call and cry

Cindy Lauper :
And when he calls up to tell
Now I'm gonna cry

Nellie McKay :
But I know you're mine
When you're on the line

Cindy Lauper :
Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :
Would you let him walk away

Cindy Lauper :
Got it stuck in my head

Nellie McKay :
Don't you hear a word I say

Cindy Lauper :
Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :
Every night the same old moan
It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Everytime he asks me how I feel
When I tell him, the phone goes dead

Nellie McKay :
I'm the queen of QVC
You're leaning on my ear
You mean the world to me
Though the connection isn't clear
Like my ink sputs 78's
Convenient when you're low

Cindy Lauper :
Feel like an antelope on a nature show
Oh no!
I guess I gotta go

Nellie McKay :
But I know you're mine
When you're on the line

Cindy Lauper :
Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :
Would you let him walk away

Cindy Lauper :
Got it stuck in my head

Nellie McKay :
Don't you hear a word I say

Cindy Lauper :
Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :
Everytime we're on the phone
It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Cindy Lauper :
Hey !

Nellie McKay :
Cast away romance

Cindy Lauper :
What's it gonna take

Nellie McKay :
No knights with shiny armor

Cindy Lauper :
Hey !

Nellie McKay :
Try a different dance
Oh, I'm a real bee charmer

Cindy Lauper :
Well I scold and I scratched to make him stay
But he don't wanna know from me
Why that old alley cat, he runs away

Nellie McKay :
Lock the door and lose the key

Cindy Lauper :
Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :
Would you let him walk away

Cindy Lauper :
I got it stuck in my head

Nellie McKay :
Don't you hear a word I say

Cindy Lauper :
Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :
Every night the same trombone
It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Cindy Lauper :
Hey !

Nellie McKay :
Let's forget romance
Let's correct romance
With knights in shiny armor

What's it gonna take
Try a different dance
Oh, I'm a real bee charmer...

I'm swept away
Yes I'm off the ground flying
Swept away
Yesterday's all but gone
Like a hurricane
You are tossing me 'round
Swept away
And today you're the one

For society
Shimmy shimmy shimmy
And you go, oh no
For propriety
Shimmy shimmy shimmy
And you go no no

But now I'm swept away
Yes I'm past the sound barrier
Swept away
Yesterday's all but done
Like a novocain shootin'
Up through my arms faster
Swept away
And today you're the one

For society
Shimmy shimmy shimmy
And you go, oh no
For propriety
Shimmy shimmy shimmy
And you go no no

But now I'm swept away
Yes I'm past the sound barrier
Swept Away
Yesterday's all but done
Like election day you are
Robbing me blind mister
Just-a swept away
And today you're the one

Don't ask me what I'm thinking
I can't handle it
Didn't plan on this
Don't ask me what I'm drinking
Hip hop hey what's up
Nothing doing Bud

If I had a real life
I could break my hands
And maybe feel life
Not understand it
As if I had a real life
Not a bland and broken false reality

Sign up for lie detection
They'll examine me
Shine a light and see
They'll find a slight depression
Say it can't be done
Nothing comes from fun

But if I had a real life
I could break the mold
And maybe steal life
From those who stole it
As if they had a real life
Not an old and smokin' false reality

Girl gone crazy
Riding the wave
Rotting away out
World don't faze me
Nothing to save
Nothing to save us now
Anyhow

Buy me a billionaire
And maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll accept
Write me a baudelaire
And tie me uppercut
If you're going up

Cause if I had a real life
I could break it down
And maybe feel a life
Not just drown in it
As if I had a real life
Not a town and country false reality

Girl gone crazy
Riding the wave
Rotting away out
World don't faze me
Nothing to save
Nothing to save us now
Anyhow

Destroy the government
And set me up as king
I've been wondering
About the president
That pushing me around
Going underground

Cause if I had a real life
I could break the rules
And maybe feel life
Instead of foolish
As if I had a real life
Not a cruel and choking false reality

You will have a house in Tipperary
A cottage by the sea
A cottage on the prairie
A home for you and me
A house in Tipperary
A house in Tipperary
Where we can go out to our cottage by the sea

You might be whack
You may be intrepid
You pray a lot
Stay on track
You may be accepted
You may have doubts

But try to make it happen
Try to fight it out
Just stick around
You're down for the final count

You will have house in Tipperary
A cottage by the sea
A cottage on the prairie
A home for you and me
A house in Tipperary
A house in Tipperary
Where we can go out to our cottage by the sea

You may be whack
You're staying intrepid
You play a lot
You stick a tack
You may be accepted
You may have thoughts

But try to make it happen
Try to fight it out
Just stick around,
You're down for the final count
Get down
Get down…

It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased

It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
All the pain has passed and there is peace

If the breath was warm and tender
Now the breath becomes a yawn
And I've been returned to sender
And I'm better since I'm gone…

It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here with time erased I'm at my best

It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
Without a pretty face I can just rest

But the march is still ongoing
I can hear the drummers' roll
And it can't show signs of slowing
It is true, dear, it's my soul…

It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased

It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
All the pain has passed and there is peace.

We're gonna get some food in the house tonight
Get some food in the house tonight
We're gonna get some food in the house tonight
Get some food in the house

For to starve is to hate is to kill is to sin
Better love's on your plate get your fill and dig in

We're gonna get some food in the house tonight
Get some food in the house tonight
We're gonna get some food in the house tonight
Get some food in the house

Hell is strife and confusion be frightened or fine
Well if life's an illusion we might as well dine

We're gonna get some food in the house tonight
Get some food in the house tonight
We're gonna get some food in the house tonight
Get some food in the house

We're gonna get some food on the table tonight
Get some food on the table tonight
We're gonna get some food on the table tonight
Get some food in the house

Well now we're feeling full in the house tonight
Feeling full in the house tonight
Oh yeah we're feeling full in the house tonight
Feeling full in the house

We're gonna go to sleep in the house tonight
Go to sleep in the house tonight
We're gonna go to sleep in the house tonight
Go to sleep in the house

(feat. k.d. lang)

Nellie Mckay :
Watching you glide towards me dear
Oh oh oh, it's clear
Rumor was wrong
We were right

Kd Lang :
?? awhile as if ??
Oh oh oh, my love
You heard it wrong we were alright

Nellie Mckay :
Though your ears may hear it all my friend
Rumor has it, rumor has it wrong

Nellie Mckay & Kd Lang :
And though your eyes may see it happening
Rumor has it rumor has it wrong

Kd Lang :
Watching you walk toward me sweet
Oh so complete
Rumor was wrong
We were right

Nellie Mckay :
Clutching your coat as we depart
Oh oh oh, my heart
You heard it wrong
We were right
Rumor had it wrong

Nellie Mckay & Kd Lang :
Rumor had it wrong
And we had it right

Nellie Mckay :
We're talking about it

Nellie Mckay & Kd Lang :
Rumor had it wrong....

Another day begins
And there you are
The mother sways her shins
Here comes the footstep of the man who'll make your dreams
The tube is fitted in
And there you are
The tepid seditive
Then a scream

Hold your placard up / cold and coffee cup
After go to a bar
Hand your flier out / must admire
How dedicated you are
I don't wanna know if you're having fun
Or your maddens are on sale
I don't wanna know if you've got a gun or a new stepson
Or you think you're gonna bail

Chris hougan / she had to run
Last night been a lot of fun
But now it's french / a little tense
She hadn't done the reading
There she sat / hoped to pass
Didn't think to face the fact
That oh by gosh o lack o lass
Columbia is bleeding
Walkin down / off the bus
Vickie lucas crossed campus was
Thinkin how she's made it now
That successful feeling
Walked by fast / hailed a cab
No clue that she'd passed a lab
And while she's sittin in lit class
Columbia is bleeding

The surgeon is in town
And there you are
The clamp is comin' down
Then a scream

Everybody knows protestors are those
Schmoes who don't have a life
See these scientists seeking differences
Have to suffer such strife
I don't wanna know if you're havin fun
Or your maddens are on sale
I don't wanna know if you got a gun or a new stepson
Or you think you're gonna bail

Generalize, proselytize, verbs were spillin out their sides
As charles eise buys his supplies gets ready for a feeding
Tried for track / hit the mat
Didn't think to face the fact
That while he's thinkin 'man that's wack'
Columbia is bleeding
Quite a snob he didn't tip
Nice guy rob watched the eclipse
And looked around / 'i've made it now
I'm just so glad to be here'
Made a pass / got hand slapped
Didn't think to face the fact
That while he's mackin on that ***
Columbia is bleeding

You don't have a religion
But you have fingers ten
They clutch at your incision
You roll them up and
Then a scream

They're just animals / make good edibles
Fester filth and disease
Check the bible son / we got dominion
We can do as we please
I don't wanna know if you're havin fun
Or your maddens are on sale
I don't wanna know if you've got a gun or a new stepson
Or you think you're gonna bail / hell

Tee tee green / mezzanine
Ended up beside the team
And gave a cheer / got some beers
With friends who started streakin
Back with zach said 'i look fat'
Didn't think to face the fact
That while she's under self-attack
Columbia is bleeding
Rodney j began to pray
His momma lost her life that day
Had been a year / it wasn't clear
If he was safe or screamin
As he jabbed the bible flap
He didn't think to face the fact
That barbarism killed the cat
Columbia is bleeding

This is the ivy league

Avez-vous de la glace ce soir
Il est temps de partir ce soir
Oui apportez une chaise ce soir
Je n'aime pas beaucoup cela ce soir

Ecoutez s'il vous plait ce soir
Il est temps de partir ce soir

Oui montrez-moi
Le chemin ce soir

You and me
We sweat
We slave
We gamble recklessly as if a dagger in the dark

Me and you
We misbehave
We trample fecklessly upon the bladder of our hearts

But it's a happy flower in the morning sun
And it'll keep perfuming when the morning's done
This ain't no tacky flower in a masquerade
And it'll keep on blooming till it steals the shade
Of the garden 'neath our windowpane

You and me
We leave
We lie
We're running through the ramble off the road of sad goodbyes

Me and you
We tease
We try
We're cutting off the ample charms put forward from the skies

But it's a happy flower in the morning sun
And it'll keep on glowing when the morning's done
And though our happy flower doesn't make a sound
Well it'll keep growing till it fills the ground
Of the garden 'neath our windowpane

Happy flower, happy flower, happy flower...

"Awww,
I don't wanna,
I don't wanna be here"
"shh its alright darling
What do you want?"
"i wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna pony pony"

It's just my mama and me
And though I know it may be
Hard to be mama and me
But we've got time time time
With my mom by my side
I know i'll always survive
We'll never give up the fight
Cause we got time time time time

I didn't wanna go
So far from home
But it was time you know
Children got to roam
But now I need her so
She's my maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhhhhhhhhhm

There's alotta things that i'm proud of in this world
I got a pinch of shirley chisholm and a sprinkle of "that girl"
Are you looking at me?
Cause there's no one else here
I'm a legally blonde three: cursed with big hair
And now the greatest way to world? It's time to give credit
To the person who's the limit, although she's never said it
To whom I am indebted, who cuts the final edit
She's my mamamamamama and I want you all to get it

It's just my mama and me
And though I know it may be
Hard to be mama and me
But we've got time time time
With my mom by my side
I know i'll always do right
We'll never give up the fight
Cause we got time time time time

So hold on, hold tight
This meeting's adjourned
For people with degrees,
You got a lot to learn
We've been earnin' jackshit man
Feelin the burn
Lost the girdle, jump the hurdle, so now it's our turn
See i've been livin with my mama since I was an embryo
Never had nintendo saw alotta brecht though
I only knew new since jewel went techno
You think i'm gonna listen and write you a check
No!
I was so small, barely big enough to crawl
When mother would call me as I stalled by the wall
In the daycare I was placed in while she's making low wages
My crayons tracing those crazy sad faces
And I tasted my soul all those coals in the mountains
Moving awfully slow??
Scolding me when i'm lonely
And waiting for mama to unfold me
And hold me
She told me "we're gonna be ok"

It's just my mama and me
And though I know it may be
Hard to be mama and me
But we've got time time time
With my mom by my side
I know i'll always do right
We'll never give up the fight
Cause we got time time time time

I think back to those days that make's me so mad
??? Chasm she had to collapse
I'm an educated woman, but I wanna attack
Wanna slap my granny, wanna whack my dad
Where were you when we were at the welfare office?
The atmosphere's toxic, the clerks are obnoxious, the kids are selling chocolate
chomping their losses
Can't even charge the clothes?
Or play with oshbagosh boxes
Those bruises, short fuses, with bad guys with black eyes
The losin, the oozin, the blood down your right thigh
The wantin to die with your nose broken, heart chokin
Hitchin a ride with a chain smokin, plain spoken jim
Who's gonna drive you as far as he can
But he ain't got the rent and you ain't got a man
"what now mama? Tell me you got a plan."
"we're gonna make little darling with a government grant."

It's just my mama and me
And though I know it may be
Hard to be mama and me
But we've got time time time
With my mom by my side
I know i'll always survive
We'll never give up the fight
Cause we got time time time time

I didn't wanna go
So far from home
But it was time you know
Mom needs time alone
But now I need her so
She's my maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhhhhhhhhh

"i hate you mother! Leave me aloooooooooooone!!"
"i love you mommy I love you mommy I love you mommy I love you mommy"
(crying)
"i want a suicide pill. Get me a suicide pill mommy!"
"i wanna die with you I wanna die with you"
"you bitch! Get me a suicide pill!"

You're feelin' hollow for the deal is done
I'm gonna pounce, I'm gonna pounce, pounce
You hear a rustle but you pass on by
I'm gonna pounce, I'm gonna pounce, pounce
You see a shadow stretching over the sun
I'm gonna pounce
That's when the cutest little kitty comes and hits you in the eye

I'm gonna pounce, pounce

I'm gonna pounce, pounce

Never thought I'd live to be old enough
To be old enough to feel like this and
Never thought I'd figure it out enough
To be loud enough to make you listen
On and on the meadows sing
They ring out merry the view
On and on my conscience blared
And shared my longing for you

Never thought I'd live to be old enough
To be bold enough to make a difference
Never thought I'd figure it out enough
To be proud enough to take my mission
Never thought I'd live to be smart enough
To have heart enough to find a better way

Never thought I'd live to be old enough
To have soul enough to pass perdition
Never thought I'd count up the years enough
To be clear enough on my convictions
Life ain't all it claims to be
It clings to me when it's blue
Life brought all its pain to me
And shamed my longing for you

Never thought I'd live to be old enough
To be told enough to lose the bullies
Never thought I's to learn enough
To be firm enough to live life fully
Never thought I'd live to be strong enough
To be young enough to find a better song
Then you came along

Never thought I'd live to be old enough
